Teresa: Bush Enviro Record 'a Sin Against Humankind'

Would-be first lady Teresa Heinz Kerry blasted President Bush's environmental record over the weekend, calling it "a sin against humankind."

Speaking before the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network in Manhattan, Heinz Kerry said the administration's efforts to alter the clean air and water acts were "inexcusable and unforgivable."

The $700 million ketchup heiress, who jets around in a gas-guzzling Gulfstream V and owns several SUVs, then went even further, describing the Bush record as "a sin against humankind, period."

For his part, Sharpton defended Sen. Kerry against charges that his senior campaign staff is virtually all white, saying the Kerry campaign was more racially inclusive "in this stage" of the contest than the 1992 Clinton campaign.
